Valentines Day Card

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

I love Valentines Day, there are so many cute crafts and fun goodies to make.
Here is one card I made.
I started out with a regular sized plain card and attached a blank black sheet of scrapbook paper to the front. I then attached a designed piece of scrapbook paper to the top.

Using the Cricut I then cut out two heart scallops using the Sweethearts cartridge.

Next I cut out my XO using the Sweethearts cartridge as well.


I then adhered everything together and sealed it off with a button on the top. xoxo

Loaded Baked Potato Soup

Today was a blizzard cold day. It was really nice to come home at the end of the day and have this nice warm soup all ready.


Ingredients:
4 Large Potatoes Diced
21 oz. Chicken Broth
10 oz Cream of Chicken Soup
4 oz. Cream Cheese
Salt & Pepper to Taste
Garnishes: Bacon, Cheddar Cheese

Directions:
Place the potatoes, chicken broth, and chicken soup into the Crock-Pot. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the potatoes are tender.
Add cream cheese and salt and pepper and blend together. A hand blender works well for this part.
Garnish with whatever you would like and it is ready to serve!
-You can also add an onion to cook with the potatoes, or as a garnish, if you like onions. We are not big onion fans.
